Dog the Bounty Hunter to come back?

My goal for the rest of the day: put on pants and get out of house. If I hear one more ice storm cliché on CNN or see that tape of the Clinton and Obama campaign managers yelling at each other on MSNBC one more time, I might stay pantsless and flip the TV over to Fox.

There will be a hard rock soundtrack in the background. Dog, his family and his crew will arm themselves to the hilt, drive around in circles talking to the camera, and then break down a door to catch the guy. Does that sound about right?

A College Station man was sentenced to 520 years in prison for possession of child pornography.
